Memory leak issue on windows 10

[Tomes101]

Hello all who view this and help out. I have an issue where my ram is always above 75% usage after 3 mins after start up, I have very few programs that start up. I only have a max of about 6 chrome tabs open at once usually its 4 tabs.

Ive done a malwarebytes full scan and a windows defender scan on my main drive and nothing was found. I have installed 2 different programs that say that it clears ram. It does to some extent but it just fill up again.(it usually only empties about 100mb or ram anyway)

I'm convinced you have a memory leak issue. First, does the ram usage increase if you don't use the PC after starting it? Second, after starting the PC and using it normally for a bit, does the usage increase after an hour or so of non-use? Basically, does it stabilise at 12.5gb or does it continually increase?

 

Unfortunately if the processors tab doesn't tell you which program is using the ram then you have to go through all the programs that have been installed or updated since this issue started and roll back or uninstall.

It only gets up to about 9 ish gigs if I dont use it but its at 10 Gigs now and ive been using it for about 6 or so hours it doesnt really go up more then 11 gigs even if im video editing. 

 

It doesnt really show that its using that much ram in the process tab

Just gave myself a restart

Are there any programs that start with windows but close soon after full start up?

Other then that all you can do is go through each program and roll back updates or uninstall and see if you get the same behaviour. Tedious I know but unregistered used ram is just that, unregistered.

I'd start going through apps that start with windows.
